You kind of answer your own question there. The irrelevant are not usually targets for discussion.

I think the newsmedia assumption that there was surely a way for her to win did lead to a period panel discussions where she was criticized, but she's out of the picture now. 

I was shocked to read that her campaign burned through a billion dollars and is still asking for money. I was put off by how fervently they clawed us for cash. I went to her sight where I bought a sign and made a small contribution as well. There were pop-ups while I was entering payment information.

I unsubscribed as soon as I completed my purchase. Good advice from someone here.

I think this is an exercise in proving that a billion TV ads that cost tens of millions of dollars is not some guaranteed path. The TV news guys like to talk about money raising instead of issues, so I guess they're glad about it.

Shrug.

Who cares about governing well, anyway?

DNC is perpetually stuck in 2004 thinking. They even have their "young" staffers thinking this way. It's MackBrownTexasFootball all the way down.

Last time I'm donating to a candidate.

I donated a bunch to her, and a bunch to betting sites on behalf of her. A ton of wasted money.

What's there to talk about? She lost. She's a lame duck VP. She's not doing or going to do anything newsworthy. She's not riling up supporters or going to incite an insurrection at the capitol.

Romney became irrelevant overnight. McCain and Kerry remained relevant as Senators and that's it. Gore became irrelevant overnight after the election was decided. Dole became irrelevant overnight, or maybe was even irrelevant before the election. This is how it's supposed to go. You keep your mouth shut.

The Democratic Party needs to clean house and bring in a whole new set of people who can figure out how to capture the right data, combat disinformation, establish the right campaign strategies, develop the right messaging, and execute that messaging. And that whole turnaround needs to start now and continue mercilessly for the next four years. Bang the messaging drum constantly for four years, just like the Republicans do.

Find yourself a Bill Clinton that can lie and be a piece of shit when need be. It's what the people want.

100% this.

I wish that wasn't true.  Because Clinton is and always was loathsome.  But man, did people love him.  For similar reasons as Trump (vibes).  That's what it takes to win a presidential election in the US.  It's just the way it is.  We are a shitty people, so we insist on electing mostly shitty people.

We need a straight, white, male, AOC. Instead of chasing an ever moving middle, go left. Run on Universal
health and tax cuts for everyone under $400k etc etc.

We need brain transplants for about 75% of our population. When you've got people saying they voted for Trump because "he'll save abortion", and huge spikes on election day in searches for "did Biden drop out?", you're in a different spot. Honestly I think name recognition did it. Everyone knows who Trump is. Half our fucking idiot population probably doesn't know who Kamala Harris is.

Apparently, being a shameless serial sexual predator is a pretty strong point in your favor.  Pussies are for grabbing, and shoving cigars into, apparently.  America: that's how we roll.

I'd say "sorry, ladies".....but enough women enthusiastically vote for that stuff that....yeah, I can't figure it out either.  Same reason I could never figure out how some gals I knew kept running from one abusive relationship to another.  But that's what they did, without fail.

So, we need an old white dude who is a sexual predator, and a good huckster with little regard for the truth.  That's how you win two terms in the White House.  The black dude?  What an anomaly.  And he broke our brains anyway.

[Goofyboy 3268]

So, back to Clinton?

No. Just run on the economy. That’s the only thing that wins elections. After you win, you can literally implement any policy you want and history has shown Americans will shrug their shoulders and live with it. You just can’t run on any of that shit.

I guess all of Trumps howling and disinformation spreading about the 2020 election being stolen and never actually admitting he lost worked very well in keeping him in power and in focus within MAGA GOP and kept him the presumptive nominee, couldn't move on even if they wanted to (they didn't) where as Democrats gonna forget Kamala exists even quicker than Trump forgot Pence existed...or had a right to be alive and not swinging from a rope...
